Digital microfluidicsFor the first time, BiR&D, in cooperation with the Belgian scientific research funds FNRS and FWO, also awarded this year a Multidisciplinary PhD Thesis Award for the best multidisciplinary scientific doctoral thesis with potential for industrial valorization. The winner was Dr Daan Witters (KULeuven) for his project on digital microfluidics. Microfluidics has to do with the manipulation of fluids in an order of magnitude ranging from microlitres to attolitres. Microfluidic technology has many applications, including in-vitro diagnostics. A new microfluidic platform was developed, i.e. digital microfluidics (DMF), in the doctoral thesis. Droplets of fluid are manipulated on DMF chips, enabling the chips to process low volumes of rare samples and costly reagents.
